FAQs
Are the Salomon XT-Whisper trainers waterproof?
The XT-Whisper features anti-debris mesh uppers which are breathable and water-resistant to some degree, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed for breathability on varied terrains.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or placing them in a washing machine, as this can damage the materials and construction.
What is the purpose of the Sensifit system?
The Sensifit system is designed to cradle the foot, providing a precise and secure fit that enhances stability and comfort by adapting to your foot's shape.
Can I replace the OrthoLite insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or other preferred insoles if needed.
How durable are the Contagrip outsoles?
Contagrip outsoles are engineered for durability and provide excellent traction on various surfaces. The specific compound and lug design are optimized for extended wear and grip.
What is the difference between this and other Salomon trail shoes?
The XT-Whisper is a revival of a 2009 X-Trail staple, known for its specific blend of durability, breathability, and aggressive traction, with a focus on a secure, comfortable fit for challenging terrain.
What does 'genderless' mean in the product description?
Genderless means the shoe is designed to be worn by any gender, with sizing and fit considerations that are not specific to male or female foot shapes.
Troubleshooting
Quicklace system is too tight or too loose.
Adjust the tension by pulling the lace toggle. Ensure the excess lace is tucked into the lace pocket to maintain the desired tension.
Shoes feel uncomfortable after initial wear.
The XT-Whisper may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase the wear time. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for your foot shape.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.
Clean the outsole lugs of any mud or debris. The Contagrip technology is designed for optimal performance when clean. Check for wear on the lug pattern.
Debris entering the shoe.
Ensure the tongue and Sensifit system are properly positioned around the foot. The anti-debris mesh is effective but may be compromised if not sealed correctly.
